Welshpool Fireworks and Winter Festival cancelled

Two big annual events in the town will not go ahead this year, due to the ongoing Coronavirus uncertainty.

The Welshpool Firework Display and December’s Winter Festival have both fallen victim to the crisis, with the Town Council deciding to play it safe.

“Amid the Coronavirus pandemic, the Council have made the decision not to have a Fireworks display this year. It would be too difficult to keep everyone safe via social distancing,” the council stated this afternoon.

“The Council have also decided to not go ahead with our annual Winter Festival. As this is such a popular event, there is no way to enforce social distancing and ensure everyone’s safety.”
